Description

These purple beauties grow best in full to part sun, and a little insect netting keeps them happy and protected. Ready to start harvesting soon.

Kohlrabi is a cool-season favorite, so Louisville’s first frosts are no problem, and a chill makes the bulbs crisp and sweet. Plant it in the ground or a deep pot, and it will keep swelling up through the cool months.

To grow: give it 4-6 inches of space, keep the soil evenly moist, and add a layer of mulch. Harvest when the bulbs are about the size of a tennis ball, since bigger ones can turn woody. Peel and eat raw, roasted or in slaw, and the leaves are edible too. Organically grown, no pesticides or chemicals, and all hand raised.
